Hi Chris!

Don't thank me - thank the guy who did it, that is Mark van der Leek!
I only found the link from Eric Bentzen's great DTP site at URL
http://members.xoom.com/ebhkp/homeeng.htm

But for your question: nope, you can't search for a position (and that's sad)!
I have also reckon that when you copy game scores as text and try to paste
them into ChessPad (as text) it is important that the preferences are
setup right. If you for instance copy a game as 1. d4 Sf6 2. c4 Sc6 (German
notation) you must have German as your 'Paste language' and so on.

It's said on the home page that ChessPad can handle 250 000 games but I guess
that only counts for games without any comments.
